HOW TO USE THE TREADMILL

HOW TO CONNECT THE POWER CORD

Use a Surge Suppressor

Your treadmill, like other electronic equipment, can be

damaged by sudden voltage changes in your home’s

power. Voltage surges, spikes, and noise interfer-

ence can result from weather conditions or from other

appliances being turned on or off. To decrease the

risk of damaging the treadmill, always use a surge

suppressor with the treadmill. To purchase a surge

suppressor, see precaution 13 on page 3.

Use only a surge suppressor that is UL 1449 listed as a

transient voltage surge suppressor (TVSS). The surge

suppressor must have a UL suppressed voltage rating

of 400 volts or less and a minimum surge dissipation of

450 joules. The surge suppressor must also be electri-

cally rated for 120 volts AC and 15 amps. There must

be a monitoring light on the surge suppressor to indi-

cate whether it is functioning properly. Failure to use a

properly functioning surge suppressor could result

in damage to the control system of the treadmill

and serious injury to users.

Plug in the Power Cord

The treadmill must be grounded. If it should malfunc-

tion or break down, grounding provides a path of least

resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of elec-

tric shock. The treadmill power cord has a plug with a

grounding pin (see drawing 1 on this page).

Plug the power cord into a surge suppressor, and plug

the surge suppressor into an appropriate outlet that is

properly installed and grounded in accordance with all

local codes and ordinances. The outlet must be on a

nominal 120-volt circuit capable of carrying 15 or

more amps. To avoid overloading the circuit, do

not plug other electrical devices, except for low-

power devices such as cell phone chargers, into

the surge suppressor or into an outlet on the same

circuit. IMPORTANT: If the treadmill is connected to

an AFCI-equipped outlet and your circuit breaker

trips repeatedly when the treadmill is used, see the

front cover of this manual to purchase an arc filter.

A temporary

adapter may

be used to

connect the

surge sup-

pressor to

a 2-pole

receptacle

if a properly

grounded

outlet is not

available.

The lug or wire extending from the adapter must

be connected with a metal screw to a permanent

ground such as a properly grounded outlet box cover.

Some 2-pole receptacle outlet box covers are not

grounded. Before using an adapter, contact a quali-

fied electrician to determine whether the outlet box

cover is grounded. The temporary adapter should

be used only until a properly grounded outlet can

be installed by a qualified electrician.

DANGER: Improper connection

of the power cord increases the risk of elec-

tric shock. Do not modify the plug—if it will

not fit an outlet, have a proper outlet installed

by a qualified electrician. If you are unsure

whether the treadmill is properly grounded,

contact a qualified electrician.

upper body arms, see page 20.

IMPORTANT: If there is a sheet of plastic on the

display, remove the plastic. To prevent damage to

the walking platform, wear clean athletic shoes

while using the treadmill. The rst time the tread-

mill is used, observe the alignment of the walking

belt, and center the walking belt if necessary (see

page 24).

Note: The console can display speed and distance in

either miles or kilometers. To nd which unit of mea-

surement is selected, see THE INFORMATION MODE

on page 20. For simplicity, all instructions in this sec-

tion refer to miles.

cold temperatures, allow it to warm to room tem-

perature before you turn on the power. If you do

not do this, you may damage the console displays

or other electrical components.

Plug in the power cord (see

page 15). Next, locate the

power switch on the treadmill

frame near the power cord.

the rst speed and incline settings for the workout.

Hold the handrails and begin walking.

Each workout is divided into 30 one-minute seg-

ments. One speed setting and one incline setting

are programmed for each segment. Note: The

same speed and incline settings may be pro-

grammed for consecutive segments.

During the workout, the

prole will show your

progress. The ashing

segment of the prole

represents the current

segment of the workout.

The height of the ash-

ing segment indicates

the speed setting for the current segment. At the

end of each segment, a series of tones will sound

and the next segment of the prole will begin to

ash.

If a different speed and/or incline setting is pro-

grammed for the next segment, the speed and/or

incline setting will ash in the display to alert you.

The treadmill will then automatically adjust to the

speed and incline settings for the next segment.

The workout will continue in this way until the last

segment of the prole ashes in the display and the

last segment ends. The walking belt will then slow

to a stop.

If the speed or incline setting for the current seg-

ment is too high or too low, you can manually over-

ride the setting by pressing the Speed and Incline

buttons; however, when the current segment of

the workout ends, the treadmill will automati-

cally adjust to the speed and incline settings

for the next segment.

To stop the workout at any time, press the Stop

button. To restart the workout, press the Start but-

ton or the Speed increase button. The walking belt

will begin to move at 1 mph. When the next seg-

ment of the workout begins, the treadmill will auto-

matically adjust to the speed and incline settings

for that segment.

THE INFORMATION MODE

The console features an information mode that keeps

track of treadmill usage information and allows you to

select a unit of measurement for the console. You can

also turn on and turn off the display demo mode.

To select the information mode, insert the key into the

console while holding down the Stop button. Then,

release the Stop button. When the information mode is

selected, the following information will be shown:

The upper display will show

the total number of hours

that the treadmill has been

used.

The lower left display will show the total number of

miles or kilometers that the walking belt has moved.

An “E” for English miles or an “M” for metric kilometers

will appear in the lower right display. Press the Speed

increase button to change the unit of measurement, if

desired.

The console features a display demo mode, designed

to be used if the treadmill is displayed in a store. While

the demo mode is turned on, the console will function

normally when you plug in the power cord, press the

power switch into the reset position, and insert the

key into the console. However, when you remove the

key, the displays will remain lit, although the buttons

will not function. If the demo mode is turned on, a “d”

will appear in the lower right display while the informa-

tion mode is selected. To turn on or turn off the demo

mode, press the Speed decrease button.

To exit the information mode, remove the key from the

console.

HOW TO USE THE SOUND SYSTEM

To play music or audio books through the console

sound system while you exercise, plug a 3.5 mm male

to 3.5 mm male audio cable (not included) into the jack

on the console and into a jack on your MP3 player,

CD player, or other personal audio player; make sure

that the audio cable is fully plugged in. Note: To

purchase an audio cable, see your local electronics

store.

Next, press the play button on your personal audio

player. Adjust the volume level using the volume con-

trol on your personal audio player.

If you are using a personal CD player and the CD

skips, set the CD player on the oor or another at

surface instead of on the console.

HOW TO USE THE UPPER BODY ARMS

As you walk on the treadmill, you can hold the hand-

rails or use the upper body arms. To exercise your

arms, shoulders, and back for a total body workout,

move the upper body arms forward and backward as

you walk on the treadmill.

To vary the intensity of your upper body exercise, the

resistance of the upper body arms can be adjusted. To

increase the resistance, turn the resistance knobs

clockwise; to decrease the resistance, turn the knobs

counterclockwise.
